The fleet are on the water and everyone is ready to go but the has just been hoisted on the committee boat.  At the moment we have sunny patches and a southerly breeze is building down the estuary.  At the clubhouse
(to the south/windward of the course) we have 9-10 knots, at the weather mark (between here and the committee boat) they have 5-6, but it’s yet to reach the committee boat which currently has just 2 knots.  We can see the wind making its way down to the course so hopefully the wait won’t be too long!
